Is there a way to stop/block/disable assignment comments from students & parents? I use comments one way (from me) and expect students to see me personally with assignment questions.
@carrie_marusich Unfortunately, there is no way to limit students from making comments on assignments. It looks like there are a couple feature ideas for this that you may want to follow:
The links above no longer seem to work since they migrated to the a new platform. But I agree that the ability to disable comments in assignments (or anywhere in Canvas) needs to be available and not on by default.
@karen_bowden …
Yup, if you hover over those two links from @james_whalley's above response, you'll see in part of the URL that those are coming from the previous Ideas space in the Canvas Community site. In taking a look at Your Community, Refreshed - Instructure Community, the last paragraph under Your Voice, Your Community says that all of our ideas have been saved and organized, and nothing has been lost. So, we'll need to wait for the Community team to reveal their new process for Ideas, but I'm not exactly sure when that will happen.
Hope this helps in some way.
I would also like to disable comments for students when submitting assignments. The links provided in the answer are not functional.

For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
